Mechagodzilla is one of the sixteen titular main protagonists (alongside Adora/She-Ra/Ultra She-ra, Glimmer/super Glimmer, Princess Frosta/Super Frosta, Perfuma/flower power girl, Mermista/wonder mermaid, Spinnerella/wonder spinner, Netossa/super netossa, Entrapta/super Entrapta, Jenny wakeman/Madame Fizzleberry, Misty/Nurse Tidepod, Vega/miss fragrancebomb, Chiro/mister strangeseed, Jinmay/miss rocketstar, Mechamothra and MOGUERA) of the she ra superheroes franchise! It was a mechanized counterpart of Godzilla created by Apex Cybernetics in order to defend the world from evil villains, so that the citizens can live in peace and harmony on Earth.
However, the robot would later fall under the influence of Kiryu and sought out to defend humanity itself. Despite being an adversary to anyone who stands in his way, Some of his archenemies included spacegodzilla, Gigan and Megalon due to Kiryu possessing it.
Appearance[]
Like Mechagodzilla's previous incarnations, it is a mecha that bears a strong resemblance to its namesake, except it is considerably thinner than previous incarnations of the character. Mechagodzilla is primarily a bright gunmetal silver color, with small hints of black, accented by a rich neon-red energy glow shining throughout its body through the gaps in its armored metal plates. Mechagodzilla's neck is ribbed and laced with robotic "gills" while its abdomen is reminiscent of a ribcage. Its head and toes bear a striking resemblance to Ghidorah's while bearing Godzilla's lumbering frame.
Mechagodzilla's back supports three rows of small, square-shaped dorsal plates, the edges of which are akin to axe blades. There are bright red lights at each tip that travel downward from its head to its back, which then converge into one row as they move down its tail. Mechagodzilla has a long, segmented tail with a set of small twin blades at the tip which can spin like a drill. Its head has a pair of small, bright red eyes that flashed blue when it begins to go out of control. Prior to being possessed by Kiryu's consciousness, its eyes glow a steady bright red color, and after falling under Kiryu's influence, its pupils disappear, leaving behind pure red eyeballs.
Mechagodzilla's arms and hands are noticeably larger and thicker in proportion to the rest of its body, and the panels on its arms and legs are laced with armored plating. Its claws are sharp and resemble claw cranes, with small razor-sharp circular saws at the bottom of each finger and black absorbing pads on the fingers' tips. It has concealed four-cell missile launchers within its shoulder pads and two 16-cell missile launchers behind them which fire forward. Both of Mechagodzilla's enormous feet support a total of five digits, with four at the front and one at the back. Its legs are shown to contain various pieces of machinery such as hydraulic pistons to support its massive weight.
Personality[]
Initially, Mechagodzilla had no distinct personality, due to the pilot controlling the mech. It would only act and follow based on the pilot's command. Likewise, upon being exposed to the Hollow Earth's energy, the energy merged with Kiryu's neural networks, causing Mechagodzilla to go haywire. Ultimately, it granted the mech a personality of its own and as a result, Mechagodzilla became a relentless killing machine that was determined to kill any villain who stood in his way and tried to conquer all of steel city, as well as any criminals around it.
There are instances where Mechagodzilla was shown to exhibit traits similar to that of Kiryu, such as its roar, as it was a slight mechanical mixture between Godzilla's and Kiryu's. Mechagodzilla also appeared to be primarily fixated on defending steel city only, while seeing Gigan as nothing more than a nuisance in its way of trying to wreck steel city, likely indicating that it possesses or worse, inherited some of Kiryu's memories of his past encounters and defeats whoever it faced.
Oddly enough however, Mechagodzilla doesn't appear to display the same traits as the left head, despite it being connected to this particular skull of Ghidorah. This might suggest that, while Kiryu is influencing Mechagodzilla, he isn't directly possessing it and that Mechagodzilla's newfound consciousness could be its own entity entirely. According to Adam Wingard, Kiryu's ghost is possibly possessing Mechagodzilla's A.I but in turn creating a new consciousness. Officer Blue, who is leader of the raptor police force, later confirmed that the combination of Kiryu's personality with the A.I. created an entirely new consciousness.
Biography[]
Background[]
Mechagodzilla was constructed by the technology conglomerate Apex Cybernetics in the aftermath of Kiryu's courageous rescues in 2019. Using the genes of Kiryu's head, a cockpit was made to control Mechagodzilla through radio waves. The pilot used was Professor Evan grazeman, the brother of Jenny wakeman, who would enter a trance while piloting the mecha. The purpose of its construction was to defend all of the people of Earth so that they can live in peace and harmony.
She-Ra Superheroes: The Ultimate Knight's Origin[]
Mechagodzilla, Mechamothra and M.O.G.U.E.R.A are first seen in an enclosed Apex facility in Steel City that Madison Russell, Josh Valentine, and Bernie Hayes locate after they stowaway on a carrier containing Skullcrawler eggs. Mechagodzilla tested its might against an adult Skullcrawler labelled as "Number 10", using its brute strength alone to grab the Skullcrawler and slice it in half with its energy beam (known as the Proton Scream). However, it powers down immediately afterwards. Apex CEO Walter Simmons later reveals his intention to harness energy from the Hollow Earth to overcome the limitations of Mechagodzilla. Following an excursion to the Hollow Earth, Apex manages to contain a stone containing a piece of the energy and use it to upgrade Mechagodzilla.
Following the rampage of The Mega horde and their allies where they damage a lot of buildings and infrastructures and injure a lot of people, Simmons saw this as his opportunity to test his invention and activates Mechagodzilla. However, the energy influx causes Mechagodzilla to malfunction, electrocuting Evan, injuring him in the process. The mixture of the energy source and Kiryu's neural network "awakens" Kiryu's consciousness, causing it to possess Mechagodzilla. It overrides the controls and proceeds with Mechamothra and M.O.G.U.E.R.A out of the Apex facility. Mechagodzilla then goes on a mission with Mechamothra and M.O.G.U.E.R.A across steel city, fixing the damaged buildings and infrastructures and taking the wounded people to the autobots to take them to the youtube squad before confronting Destoroyah and Megaguirus.
Haven grown weary from the previous rampage through steel city, Destroyah and megaguirus are swiftly and brutally overpowered by Mechagodzilla and Mechamothra, who blast them with their various weapons and throw them around the city. Unfortunately, It did not take long before Megaguirus managed to get back up and continued her rampage as the mechas gave chase. As if Gigan could not fight any harder, Mechagodzilla still proves too strong and is able to overpower him. While it was trying to finish him off, the kamacuras proceeded to kidnap some citizens for their show. Mechagodzilla then uses his strength and sharp claws to dismember Gigan limb from limb before stabbing his chest, ending its brief reign of terror.
Powers and Abilities[]
Powers[]
- Mecha Titan Physiology: As a mechanized Titan, Mechagodzilla possessed several physical and non-physical attributes.
- Advanced Strength: Mechagodzilla has humongous amounts of physical strength as it was strong enough to overpower an adult Skullcrawler, knock over and throw any villain he encounters around and even overwhelm it easily, despite being outnumbered. Even when Destoroyah and megaguirus both battled against it simultaneously, Mechagodzilla was still proving to be more than a match for the two Titans.
- Advanced Durability: Due to its endoskeleton being composed of titanium, Mechagodzilla is incredibly resistant to damage as it was able to withstand powerful blows from both Destoroyah and Megaguirus respectively. It immediately gets back to its feet after being thrown onto the ground by destoroyah and does not appear to take any noticeable physical damage from repeated strikes from Destoroyah's tail before it is charged.
- Advanced Speed: Mechagodzilla was able to run at great speeds, as it could easily outpace Destoroyah.
- Advanced Agility and Reflexes: Mechagodzilla is agile enough to dodge and counter most of Destoroyah and Megaguirus' strikes, thanks to its human-like reflexes.
- Advanced Stamina: Mechagodzilla's stamina is shown to be high, never needing to stop or even slow down during its battle with Destoroyah and Megaguirus.
- Advanced Endurance: Mechagodzilla's endurance is shown to be high as it was capable of enduring powerful attacks from Destoroyah and Megaguirus.
- Flight: It is assumed that Mechagodzilla can achieve flight via its thrusters, though this ability was never seen on screen.
- A-74 Proton Scream: Mechagodzilla has a series of lenses that assembles inside of its throat, allowing it to generate, create and project the A-74 Proton Scream (or simply Proton Scream), a concentrated red beam of pure energy. It was powerful enough to slice a Skullcrawler in half, slice through multiple Vehicles that the mega horde deployed and even overpower Destoroyah's atomic breath, blasting Destoroyah backwards and leaving a searing wound on his chest. According to some Japanese Theatre Promotional Materail, his proton scream has 4.10×10^80 or 9.79923518164436e46 Yottatons.
Abilities[]
- Genius-level Intellect: When Mechagodzilla was powered by the energy from the Hollow Earth, the robot was possessed by Kiryu's consciousness, severing its neural link with its pilot, Professor Evan grazeman. Under Kiryu's influence, Mechagodzilla killed its own creators, and it effectively utilizes its new body and abilities to overpower Destoroyah, gigan and megaguirus.
- Advanced Combatant: Mechagodzilla is a highly skilled combatant, being able to perform a variety of punches, kicks, and grapples during its fight with Destoroyah, gigan and megaguirus both simultaneously, despite being outnumbered. Its combat skills also extend to the usage of weapons for the robot to use during its battle with the three Titans.
- Stealth: Despite its prodigious size, Mechagodzilla is shown to be stealthy, being able to sneak up on Walter Simmons without being noticed after it was taken over by Kiryu's consciousness.
- Master Swimmer: In some movies, it is revealed that Mechagodzilla's thrusters could be switched to jets for underwater propulsion, shown when the robot first demonstrated this ability by attacking a fleet of ships deployed by captain manta.
- Hollow Earth Energy: Mechagodzilla was able to use energy from the Hollow Earth by charging it into it's hands and feet, allowing it to perform devastating hits on Destoroyah, gigan and megaguirus.
Equipment[]
- Arsenal: Thanks to being built by Apex Cybernetics, Mechagodzilla is equipped with a large amount of weaponry (including missile launchers, a tail drill, thrusters, jaw shredders, buzzsaw claws, etc.) which stores in its body.
- Missile Launchers: Mechagodzilla possesses two sixteen-cell missile launchers which rise from behind its shoulder pads and are capable of momentarily stunning opponents. This is seen when they did slow Gigan's charge, despite each missile releasing several micro missiles before impact, yet they did cause damage to him. When being held by Megalon and Gigan, Mechagodzilla deployed a four-cell missile launcher hidden in its left shoulder against Godzilla, causing him to release his grip.
- Tail Drill: Mechagodzilla's tail is equipped with multiple blades that can rotate at high speed to act like a drill and also can be used as a versatile weapon. During its fight with Godzilla and Kong, Mechagodzilla used its tail to knock Megalon off of its back before the robot then attempted to use it against him and SpaceGodzilla.
- Buzzsaw Claws: Mechagodzilla possesses crane-like claws rather than claws that resemble Godzilla's fingers. The interiors of these claws are adorned with industrial buzzsaws, allowing them to cut through skin and flesh while grappling. Mechagodzilla can also rotate its hands like drills, delivering extra damage.
- Dorsal Plates: It is assumed that Mechagodzilla's dorsal plates are used to defend any organs, making it harder for an opponent to destroy it.
- Drones: In PUBG Mobile, Mechagodzilla is capable of launching its dorsal plates that would turn into drones in order to attack any villain who stands in his way. These drones would operate like a hive mind with Mechagodzilla being able to control them.
- Jaw Shredders: Mechagodzilla has two sets of industrial shredders within its mouth; one set on the roof of its mouth and the other set on its bottom jaw. Though the robot only tried using them once on Kong, within several close-up shots, the teeth of these grinders can be seen rotating, indicating that they are functional. It is assumed that Mechagodzilla uses these grinders to bite down on an opponent and use the saws to cut down the flesh of said skin, inflicting massive damage.
- Thrusters: Mechagodzilla has a set of six thrusters that fire out of openable ports by its dorsal fins, enabling quick bursts of movement, or added momentum to its strikes or punches. These thrusters can make Mechagodzilla more agile in close-quarters combat, helping it gain the upper hand against Destoroyah.
Weaknesses[]
- Control Panel Damage: Liquid poured onto Mechagodzilla's control panel might result it to short-circuit, and seizing up during combat; allowing any villain fighting it to gain the upper hand.
- Inability to dig: Due to its large size, it might have difficulty in digging holes in some movies.
Trivia[]
- Mechagodzilla combines various aspects of previous incarnations such as Kiryu (uses a bio-computer, goes berserk, and moves surprisingly agile), the Ready Player One Mechagodzilla and the Monsterverse Mechagodzilla. It also borrows the character's elements from the scrapped kaiju Berserk (taken over by some force and turning against its creators).
- This is the third incarnation of Mechagodzilla to be featured in an American-made film, after the Ready Player One Mechagodzilla and the Monsterverse Mechagodzilla.
- This incarnation of Mechagodzilla is the first kaiju to overpower another titan.
- This incarnation of Mechagodzilla is the third Toho monster (besides Godzilla) and the first incarnation of Mechagodzilla to ever fight Gigan, the first two Toho monsters being Mothra from the millenium era and Anguirus from the Showa Era.
- This is also the first robot kaiju to fight Gigan before Jet Jaguar, rocket star, garuda and Hailino.
- If we take account that Kiryu possessed Mechagodzilla, this is technically the first time Kong fought Kiryu, and vice versa.
- This incarnation of Mechagodzilla is the first monster to beam clash with Gigan.
- This incarnation of Mechagodzilla is the last of the "Big Five" Toho monsters in the MonsterVerse, the others being Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan, and King Ghidorah.
- At one point, Mechagodzilla's proton scream briefly sparks with blue and yellow energy. This results in a very similar aesthetic to the space beams of the first Mechagodzilla.
- Mechagodzilla's roar is just the mechanically mimicked version of Godzilla's roar. When Kiryu's consciousness possesses the mecha, its roar changed to a modified variation of Kiryu's own roar.
- The method that Mechagodzilla killed Reugosite was the same way Godzilla had used to kill the female M.U.T.O. in the first movie, the "kiss of death".
- The concept of Mechagodzilla built around another kaiju and later being possessed by said kaiju is similar to the one with Kiryu, who was built around the bones of the original Godzilla and would at one point fall under the influence of him. In this version, it is Kiryu as this Mechagodzilla was made from his remains.
- The way Mechagodzilla and Gigan briefly clash their respective energy beam and atomic breath is a callback to a similar shot in the 1993 Godzilla film, Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II.
- The fact that Mechagodzilla is taken over by Gigan's consciousness is similar to how Mechagodzilla II gets overtaken by Mecha-King Ghidorah's programming in the manga adaptation of Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II.
- This is the fourth incarnation of Mechagodzilla to be primarily built by humans and serve as the main protagonist after the anime mechagodzilla, Kiryu and The Heisei Mechagodzilla.
